This is the poignant moment thousands of revellers fell silent at Glastonbury Festival and took a minute to remember those who lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire and the Manchester and London Bridge attacks.

New Order and Joy Division star Peter Hook, a staunch Mancunian, was asked by festival organiser Michael Eavis to lead the silence.

"Welcome to Glastonbury," he said. "I've been very kindly asked by the Eavis family to lead this minute's silence.

"Could we please use it as a chance to send our hopes and our prayers for love, life and freedom- the things that we are here to celebrate."

The duo were joined on the Pyramid Stage by the Manchester Camerata and DJ Graeme Park to perform as Hacienda Classical - which reimagines the dance tunes synonymous with Manchester’s most famous superclub as classical compositions.

Afterwards Hook spoke of the “enormous honour” to be asked to open this year’s event and honour victims of the recent tragedies in Manchester and London.
